RE: [xmca] a tool for the 6th dimension - 'cogeographic awareness' ?

["Louise Hawkins" <l.hawkins@cqu.edu.au>]

I can see the possibility with these siftables of being tools that make things more 'real' (as in available) to students with autism/aspergers - I am thinking along the lines of the interactive cartoon application as a way of assisting those with ASD to get a grasp on interaction and emotions.... as well as the cartoon application being a means of creating social stories.....

A fascinating talk Paul thanks I must spend an evening or two pref in winter going through TED amazing resource.

Recently I blogged about a term which came to me, which I thought I had found on the web - 'cogeograpy' or 'cogneographic':

http://hodges-model.blogspot.com/2009/07/cogeographic-or-cogneographic-concepts.html

I've just posted the following comment to Computing (yet to appear) at ....

http://www.computing.co.uk/computing/news/2246321/five-nhs-trusts-involved

- regards the UK's National Health Service suffering more confidential data losses through laptops and devices...

========
Such events merely (without trivializing) highlight the human capacity to ERR biggish time. Is it not possible for tech to help? If info systems through to mobile devices had a sense of where they are and their status as carrying sensitive data recognised through digital IDs - plus additional meta-dynamic data, then cogeographic awareness might result? I blogged about this with ref to conceptual spaces -

http://hodges-model.blogspot.com/2009/07/cogeographic-or-cogneographic-concepts.html

This would be an artificial example and would make it possible for data previously designated as confidential to self-destruct - 'e-vaporate' if it found itself beyond a given combined virtual environment and . or physical environment hospital, Trust boundary, SHA, National border...? This facility already exists no doubt in security services - as suggested in the realms of MI and 007. Cogeographic or  (cogneographic) may be a neologism and seeks to conjoin the cognitive (cognition) involved in defining, representing and using concepts in conceptual spaces; AND the finding that knowledge is invariably situated - that is knowledge has a geography. Copies of NHS data could have a geography too...?

I stumbled across the following that I believe will be of interest.  I'm wondering how such a technology as that demonstrated in this video might affect "double stimulation" experiment o various kinds.

any comments?
